Increase the timeout value in vmbus_request_offers().

Why?  What does this solve/fix/prevent?

On some very loaded systems, when we tested the 1 second timeout that
we had prior to this patch was insufficient. So I bumped it to 5 seconds.

Ok, then this should be something that goes into 3.0 and older kernels,
right?

If so, please say so, with this type of description, when you submit it.

Remember, don't say only what you did in the changelog comment, but why
you did it if it's not obvious (and it wasn't here.)

Care to resend this one with this information?

Will do.

Thanks,

K. Y
